The supreme brazonry, not to
employ that more expressive word
used in common street parlance, of
the president in refusing to tender
Information requested of him by the
senate, is unbecoming to one in his
exalted position. 1t is belittling the
office which he holds and is an in
dignity which in his general obtuse-
ness he cannot comprehend. He
assumes the superior knowledge of
pafeyfamlias in conducting the bust
ness Of the nation in cooperation
with the senate, containing men
older in craftsmanship than he is in
years. OF whatever importance the
treasured secret may be it is not
"compatible with public interest"
that it be withheld from the senate
of the United States, which body,
in the present condition of things,
maintains the responsibility of this
government throughout the nations
OF the earth. The present exhibit
ton of the presidents egotism is not
more astonishing, however, than
has been the display by his persist
ent vetoes Of pension bills and his
denomination of rejected men,

Look Not Upon the Cider.

Judge Garrett rendered decision
in Des Moines, Monday, which in a
measure determines the fate Of cider.
A government chemist was summon
ed as an expert to test the apple
juice. and by his instrument for test
ing alcohol found that it contained
but I per cent of alcohol. A pro-
lessor was called in from Drake
University, who said that the instru-
ment used by the government expert
could not test cider, and before the
eyes of the court proved his asser-
ton satisfactorily, showing conclu.
sively that it did contain over 5 per
cent of alcohol, or from to ~ per
cent more than is found in beer. 1t
is a fact that has been demonstrated
to youths that cider is Intoxicating
and worse in effect than liquids sold
for Intoxicating purposes. The de-
cision will drive cider from the list
of light drinks that have been sold
as beverage, and where it has been
in greatest demand as a substitute
for prohibited liquors.

The manner in which the peoples
money has been squandered is no
surprise, but the newspaper that has
the hardlhood to beard the gang
that has fattened on stealings creates
no little excitement in the Garden

stupendous ring of corruptionists
that has thrived since the days of
Tweed. The Mail lead and carried

More Mill Probabilities.

THE REPUBLICAN, is informed by
authority that it considers reliable
that a Touring mill will be erected
in Audubon during the coming sea.
son. The protector is Mr.. Jacob
Kuhn, proprietor and operator OF
the mill at Manning. The gentle
man was in the city a few days ago,
but was so quiet in making an IN
vestigation of the field that few if
any were aware OF his mission here.
He was very favorably impressed
with the field and prospects, and de-
parted pretty we'll determined in his
intent to locate here. He has al
ready sent to experienced architect
for plans and specifications of the
latest improved buildings for such
purposes, and has taken other pre-
liminary steps to the enterprise.
Our informant has had long acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Kuhn and speaks in
the highest terms of him as man
of high character, an enterprising
and judicIous business man, who
has accumulated competency by
his wise management of the milling
business. In entering the field here
he asks no assistance whatever from
the town, preterrlng to make the
investment independently, which his
ample means enables him to do. In
presenting his project to our inform
ant Mr.. Kuhn said that he expected
to expend from $4,000 to $4,000
in building and equipping the in.
terror of the mill, and that only the
latest and most approved process
should be used.
The business men Of Audubon
will be glad to welcome man OF
such recognized business ability and
financial stability as Mr.. Kuhn pos
sesses, while the people ofthe county
will extend hearty and liberal pat
ronage to the establishment.
We sincerely hope the mill will
mate rialize.

While chatting with a travelling
man on the train, a few days ago,
the conversation turned upon the
western Iowa towns, their enter.
prise and the commercial stability
of their merchants. He was travel
ing for wholesale crockery house
and said: 81 get larger orders from
the dealers of Audubon than from
those of any town of equal size in
the state. Frequently three or four
OF them club and buy full car load
of my goods. You see it pays them
to do SO, for they get lower prices
and cheaper freights than by buying
in lots of few hundred pounds each,
They can give their customers better
prices than they can secure at neigh.
boring towns, and at the same time
make larger profits. Trade has
been dull on this trip until / struck
Atlantic and Audubon, at each Of
which points | sold large bills. All
of the boys are surprised at the
large bills they sell In Audubon, and
find the merchants there the most
energetic and enterprising OF any
on the road" Such commentator
is not only favorable to the town,
but to the surrounding country and
indeed the entire county. Commercial
statesmen have the greatest knowl-
edge of any class as to the business
capacity Of the various com munities
through which they travel and the
business men with whom they come
in contact, and this compliment,
coming from a prominent member
of that fraternity, is indeed authentic
and valuable,

THE findings OF the coroner's jury
in the cases of the victims Of the re-
cent disaster near Tiffin, Ohio, is a
very sad comment, partaking Of the
nature of censure, of the railway
management, and nearly exonerates
the employees. 1t determined that
the engine on the freight train was
only fit for the "scrap heap" the
fues being so badly worn that the
fire was put out and the engine died
on the track; that the engineer in.
stead of being drunk was worn out
by sixteen hours and fifty minutes
continuous service; that the brakes
on the passenger train were not III
good order, and that the cars were
not heated in accordance with the
state law. Blame attaches to the
employees that they did not sigma
the on-coming tram. In face o
such gross negligence Statistical
authority that there are more violen
deaths in agricultural pursuits thar
on railway trains, affords cold com
fort, indeed.

THE best antidote for anarchy is
the savings bank and the building
association. When a man makes a
deposit in a savings bank he gives
pledge to social order. When a
man owns, or puts himself in the

as well as his interests against the

GRANTING suffrage to women il

GRANTING suffrage to women in
municipal elections is very creditable
to the intelligence of Kansas. Many
there are who ridicule the idea, and
consider that women are out of their
sphere when exercising the elective
franchise, but it is movement which
is growing in popularity and is en-
dorsed by the best sentiment of the
country. 1t is true that the average
voting place is not fit for women to
enter, but this will one day be ele,
waited to a standard that will not be
so discreditable to the officers in
charge. The good effects of such
custom would be sooner apparent in
the changed and purified conditions
and circumstances surrounding cleo
ton day than any other particular.
